Signs of Autism in Infants: Recognition and Early Intervention

$33.99 via Amazon

This book brings hope where despair has prevailed. It offers the prospect of early detection of prodromal signs of autism and the possibility of effective therapeutic mitigation of the parents’ unbearable predicament of perpetually failing to engage a seemingly unresponsive infant.

As a group, babies later diagnosed as autistic are found to have more complications during gestation and delivery than their normal siblings and others. In addition, infants later diagnosed on the autistic spectrum have a two-fold rate of residence in neonatal intensive care units. Over the past 50 years, ever younger, previously non-viable very low-weight babies are being kept alive, some born as much as four months before term. However, it is becoming apparent that the miraculous procedures to counteract organ immaturity and the prolonged incubation contribute to a new gamut of hitherto unknown forms of neurological damage. With gestation shortened, prematurely separated mothers and their babies both experience a prolonged state of limbo, with the fragile infant being exposed to excruciating medical interventions and overwhelming stimulation.
